I think that wind & solar will soon will be ditched as reality comes into clash with dreams...
"On the day that SaskPower announced the addition of the new 200 megawatt Bekevar Wind Energy Facility to the grid, output at that wind farm totally died. It happened not just at Bekevar, but across the southern prairies.
Wow, breaking news that sometimes the wind doesn't blow. Who would ever have guessed?!
Of course, presumably they'll publish another SHOCKING article the first day that the wind does blow, totally overturning the entire history to date (one day) that it didn't.
Seriously, folks, everybody knows that sometimes it's not sunny (though sometimes it is), and sometimes it's not windy (though sometimes it is).
There is a mix, and that fact is baked into the economic analysis at the time of deciding to build a wind or solar array.
It's like noting that the stock market was down today, so obviously it can never go up.
